Swaim (concussion) didn't practice Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Swaim has missed both of Cleveland's first two practices this week as he remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The veteran tight end has had a minimal role in the Browns offense this season, logging just one catch for seven yards over eight games.

Russell (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Russell went from limited Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, but he managed to practice Friday without restrictions. Given his rocky practice participation this week, Russell's status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Seahawks announce their inactives approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Kelce finished with seven receptions (on 13 targets) for 68 yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Raiders.

Kelce led the Chiefs in targets while recording his second-highest total in that category in the 2024 season. Friday's yardage also marked the star's highest total since Week 9. Backup wide receiver Justin Watson vultured Patrick Mahomes' only passing touchdown in the win, which has been the story for Kelce's fantasy season through 12 games (two touchdowns). The 34-year-old still looks beastly with the ball in his hands, so the potential for a breakout performance still is in the cards for frustrated managers. Kelce posted a healthy 7-89-0 line against the Chargers in Week 4, with the two teams set to face each other again next Sunday at Arrowhead.

Bowers secured 10 of 14 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday. He also rushed once for two yards.

Bowers led the Raiders across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with the middle total also serving as a new career high. The performance served as Bowers' second 100-yard game and third with double-digit receptions, and the rookie first-round pick added his fourth touchdown catch of the campaign on a 33-yard grab late in the third quarter. Bowers also made a clutch 25-yard reception on Las Vegas' final drive, and he carries an immense fantasy ceiling in all formats heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 8.

Woerner (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Woerner was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 11 contest against the Broncos due to a concussion. He was limited to start the week Wednesday, but he finished with two consecutive full practices and has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Sunday's contest. Woerner will reclaim his role as the Falcons' No. 2 tight end Sunday behind starter Kyle Pitts.

Higbee (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Higbee won't make his season debut Sunday, leaving Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson as the Rams' top two tight ends against New Orleans. The 31-year-old Higbee managed to notch a full practice Friday, suggesting he's closing in on a return as he works his way back from a torn ACL suffered during last season's playoffs. Higbee could return to game action in Week 14 against the Bills.

Moreau (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Moreau will be available Sunday after logging three limited practices. He'll work as part of a crowded New Orleans tight end room that also features Juwan Johnson and the versatile Taysom Hill.

Knox is in line to maintain a larger role Sunday against the 49ers, as Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out.

Knox ascended to the top of the tight end depth chart in Kincaid's absence against the Chiefs in Week 11 and proceeded to turn six targets into four catches for 40 yards. Buffalo's Week 12 bye didn't provide Kincaid sufficient time to recover, so Knox should maintain a sizable role against a 49ers defense that has limited tight ends to 384 receiving yards this season -- second-fewest in the NFL.

Oliver (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

He hasn't practiced since suffering the ankle injury Week 11 and now is confirmed to be out for a second straight game. T.J. Hockenson noticed large increases in snap and route share with Oliver out last week, taking advantage to the tune of a 7-114-0 receiving line on nine targets.

Dissly (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

Dissly was a full practice participant Friday, upgrading from limited participation Thursday and an absence Wednesday. He's caught four or more passes in six of the past seven games, averaging 4.6 receptions for 44.9 yards on 6.0 targets since taking over as the Chargers' primary pass-catching TE. Dissly already has career-high totals for catches (41) and receiving yards (399) but has scored just one touchdown in 11 games.
